From River to Mount
As the Christmas season comes to an end this weekend we attend the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, and we begin to
hear Him begin His ministry in a very public way. The next three Sundays which will constitute ‘Ordinary Time’ between now
and Lent will show Jesus moving from that river to the sea (where he recruits Peter and others) and finally preaching the Beatitudes on the mount. What a short time to get to know the Messiah before He is found again the following week in the desert and
again on a mountain conversing with Satan. Together the arid desert, the high mountain, the river and the sea all provide wonderful stages for the unfolding story.
Water will soon be a major element in the rituals and traditions which will accompany us through the continuing story of
salvation history. Jesus will refer the ‘living water’ in a few weeks in the middle of Lent. He will thirst on the Cross. When His
side is pierced at the Crucifixion it will pour out along with blood. The feast of Divine Mercy (the Sunday after Easter) speaks
of that water in a very special way. The rays which we have seen on the painting associated with the feast and St. Faustina’s
visions denote both Blood and Water. In her diary, St. Faustina writes the words dictated to her by Christ as follows: “The pale
ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays
issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized heart was opened by a l ance on the Cross. These rays
shield souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy is the one who dwells in their shelter for the just hand of God shall not lay
hold of him.”
Water will be most prevalent during the Easter season when it assumes a prominent place in our liturgies beginning with the
great service on the night of the Resurrection, March 22. It will mix with fire and it will be filled with the Spirit as it is poured
over the heads of the catechumens then baptized. It will be sprinkled on all the baptized at every Sunday liturgy during that
same season. That ‘water which makes souls righteous’ will flow from the pierced heart’ and fill the pool with living water,
with water which cleanses, blesses, renews.
That so much of the earth’s water comes from the mountains to create the many rivers and streams teaming with life may or
may not have been on Christ’s mind when He used the hills as stages for so many of His actions. But we know the water which
poured from the mount known as Calvary was certainly important.
When we look up at the Crucifixion scene which hovers above our Nativity scene, Jerusalem looking over Bethlehem, let us
be reminded of that mountain, that water and the everlasting life which was its ultimate gift.

PASTORAL MESSAGE
What happened at Jesus’ Baptism?
Very often the question is asked: “Why
was Jesus baptized?” With the asking of
the question, there follows as if an
objection to the question: “He didn’t have
any sin, did he? After all, baptism remits
original as well as personal sin in adults at
baptism. Why should he be baptized?”
The answer to that question lies in
understanding what baptis m is: what is
its purpose and consequently what are
the effects of baptism. Unfortunately, a good number of Catholics
narrowly equate baptism with sin. It is true that baptism remits
sin. However, baptism has to do with more than that. It has to do
with a declaration of being sons and daughters of God. In Jesus’
baptism a voice from heaven (supposedly that of God the Father)
declared: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well
pleased.” Baptism is an occasion at which God declares us to
be not only his creatures, but also that we are incorporated into
the very life of the most holy Trinity of Persons — Father, Son
and Holy Spirit— and in the unity of their infinite being. Jesus,
who took on our humanity, has made possible our incorporation
into the Triune God’s life through his suffering, dying,
resurrecting and ascending into heaven. Jesus merited this
generous gift for us, because we could not have merited
(deserved) it by our good actions, no matter how many good
deeds and of what great quality they might be.
God shows no partiality or favoritism when He shares His
divine life with Jews and Gentiles alike. On the occasion of the
baptism of Cornelius, a Gentile, the second reading from the
Acts of the Apostles (10: 34b-35) makes this clear. The author
writes: “I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every
nation whoever fears him (namely, God) and acts uprightly is
acceptable to him (namely, God).”
To be declared a son or daughter of God at baptism is not only to
be given an honorary title but also to be given a mission. The mission
of the baptized —including that of Jesus—is to realize that he/she
has been chosen as a servant of God , who is Lord. In the words of
the first reading from Isaiah (42: 1-4, 6-7) it consists in God putting
His spirit in us to bring about “justice to the nations.” In the Biblical
use of the word, “justice” means that God wills to make right
Himself the human being who has veered from God’s ways. It is
mainly God’s activity and initiative rather than the work of the
human being. In other words, God wants to have a right relationship
with human beings, even when they have sinned and God is willing
to make that happen through the suffering and death of Jesus, God’s
beloved Son. Jesus, who fulfilled his baptismal mission throughout
his lifetime by his obedience to God, even to the death of the cross.
Whatever Jesus did in his private life ( up to the age of 30) and
thereafter in his public life, he was always attuned to God’s will;
especially, when the cup of suffering and death was being placed
before him: “Not my will, but your will be done.” And he taught his
disciples (you and me) to pray and will the same. “Your kingdom
come, Your will be done.”
The baptized (you and I) are able to accomplish Jesus’
mission, because the Lord has called us, grasped us by the hand,
formed us and set us “as a covenant of the people, a light to the
nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from
confinement and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.”
Peace and Good! Fr. Cam

Chrzest Panski
Choc w polskiej tradycji spiewamy
koledy i zachowujemy choinki w
kosciolach az do 2 lutego, Niedziela
Chrztu Panskiego stanowi liturgiczne
zakonczenie okresu Bozego
Narodzenia.
Zarówno narodzenie Pana w
ubóstwie jak i Jego unizenie podczas
chrztu w Jordanie, sa wyrazem pokory
Pana Boga, który dla naszego
zbawienia posluzyl sie bardzo ubogimi srodkami. Juz samo
Wcielenie jest dla Boga unizeniem. Bóg w ludzkim ciele! Do
dzisiaj prawda ta stanowi przedmiot zgorszenia dla wielu,
którzy nie wierza w Bóstwo Jezusa z Nazaretu.
Dzisiaj, w niedziele Chrztu Panskiego, widzimy
konsekwencje Wcielenia - Jezus staje posród grzeszników, bo
chrzest byl przeznaczony wlasnie dla grzeszników.
Przyjmujacy chrzest od Jana wyznawali swoje grzechy.
Ewangelis ta opisujac chrzest Pana zaznacza, ze Jezus wyszedl z
wody zaraz po
chrzcie; Jezus nie
Nasz chrzest stal sie mozliwy w y z n a j e
bo jest
dzieki chrztowi, któremu grzechów,
bez grzechu. A
poddal sie Pan
jednak pod koniec
zycia
zostaje
zaliczony w poczet grzeszników. Wiszacy na krzyzu Bozy Syn
ma po swojej prawej i lewej stronie zloczynców. W ten sposób
chrzest Pana jest juz zapowiedzia Jego krzyza. Krzyz objawia
paradoks: wywyzszenie jest unizeniem; unizenie jest
wywyzszeniem. Jezus wychodzacy z wody podnosi z soba caly
swiat. Jezus znoszacy hanbe krzyza zbawia caly swiat. Dlatego
Jan Ewangelista mówi o wywyzszeniu Jezusa na krzyzu.
Chrzest Jezusa w Jordanie jest objawieniem calej Trójcy
Przenajswietszej. Glos Boga Ojca z nieba wyznaje Jezusa jako
Jego umilowanego Syna. Duch Bozy zstepuje na Niego w
widzialnej postaci golebicy. Przypomina nam to o naszym
chrzcie dokonanym w imie Ojca i Syna, i Ducha Swietego.
Nasz chrzest stal sie mozliwy dzieki chrztowi, któremu poddal
sie Pan. Kazdy znak krzyza w imie Trójcy Przenajswietszej,
którym znaczymy nasze cialo, najlepiej uzywajac swieconej
wody, jak np. przy wejsciu do kosciola, jest odnowieniem
chrztu. Warto to czynic swiadomie.
Dlatego cieszmy sie chrztem Pana i darem chrztu dla nas, i
nalezycie obchodzmy to swieto. Jak? Grzegorz z Nazjanzu,
biskup, odpowiada na to pytanie i do swoich sluchaczy kieruje
nastepujace slowa:
Przede wszystkim pozostancie czysci i oczyszczajcie sie.
Bóg przeciez niczym bardziej sie nie raduje jak nawróceniem i
zbawieniem czlowieka, któremu cala ta nauka zostala dana i
wszystkie tajemnice. I macie byc jak zródla swiatla w swiecie i
sila zyciodajna dla ludzi. Macie byc jak plonace swiatla przy
owym wielkim swietle z nieba i napelnieni Jego promienista
jasnoscia, jasniejacy pelniej i wyrazniej blaskiem Trójcy
Przenajswietszej. Bo przyjeliscie teraz, choc jeszcze nie w pelni,
jeden promien jedynego Boga, w Chrystusie Jezusie, Panu
naszym, któremu chwala i panowanie przez wszystkie wieki.
Amen.

ST. STAN’S HISTORICAL FACT by
Rob Jagelewski.
One of the biggest population centers
in this area in the nineteenth century was
Newburgh. It was more prominent than
Cleveland. Newburgh was organized as a
township in 1814. At this time it was
bordered by Cleveland on the north,
Warrensville Township on the east,
Independence to the south, and the
Cuyahoga River to the west. Mills built
at Mill Creek spurred economic
prosperity. An old coach road was cut
through the Township, which became
Broadway Avenue. Fertile soil promoted
farming and waterpower enticed
industry. The biggest industrial complex
was the Rolling Mill where many of our
parishioners found employment. In 1873,
when our parish was founded, the center
of Newburgh was Union Avenue on the
north, East 93 on the east, and Cleveland
on the west and south. Cleveland
annexed portions of Newburgh in 1878,
1893, and 1894. Newburgh Heights was
incorporated and South Newburgh
became Garfield Heights in 1904.
